00:19:11:00 to 00:20:53:07 - superb segment of Southern blacks picking cotton (works perfectly for "slaves picking cotton"); MCU of faces, very sharp visual quality, beautifully composed. Blacks moving cotton bales on handcarts. Ends with black vocal quartet (3 men, 1 woman) singing old spiritual "Keep In the Middle of the Road".

Subject: And now, The Darkies! A grand exposure of What Makes America So Great According To Jam Handy. If you ... said, why, it's the manufacture of vehicles, more specifically, Chevrolets! I'd award you another Jelly Belly. From the first frame, where the narrator just yells AMERICA!! with such furvor that I knew this was going to be a pompous trip, this film, for 20 minutes (and much much more I'm sure) proves to us time and time again that nothing compares to an American Automobile! Why? We'll show you! And then we're treated to a non-stop tour of a Chevrolet plant. It's not bad actually, the tour, while we explore the neverending footage Jamison Handy has, we also explore stuff like glass prodution, why wood is so important, and, yes, a trip down to Georgia to explore Cotton's importance. Why, while we're here, "Listen to the songs of the darkies as the cotton is gathered!" Yes, this rather unfortunate racist bit stops the film cold. Actually, there is another song about lumber production earlier in the film, you're not too sure why it's there, as it's not introduced or anything. Actually, they should have eliminated both songs, as it totally puts a bad pall on this picture.
